Tyrannosaurus fossil found with final meal in its stomach
Newsy
Researchers found a dinosaur from the tyrannosaurus family with a properly preserved meal in its stomach.
The study of fossils offers scientists a look at species that lived long before documented history, and once in a while, scientists get a glimpse of something unexpected during their examinations.
According to a recent report by Science Advances, a team of paleontologists discovered remnants of a young Gorgosaurus libratus, a member of the tyrannosaurus family, with its last meal in its stomach.
The finding represents the first time scientists have seen stomach contents preserved in "proper anatomical condition" in the tyrannosaurus.
